Default Please help. Weird Ticking noise coming from rear.

OKay, Last night I race a car 3 times. All from a stop, and I must have gone to 80 mph before I stopped and slowed down. Well after my dumb ass was racing, I was hearing a weird ticking noise coming from the rear. Kinda like a baseball card noise put into the spokes of a bike. Except a little deeper in pitch. I can hear it at all speed, but it's super noticeable coming to a stop. Its not a nail or a rock in the tire cause , I don't see anything, plus it makes a few click noises before my tire does a full rotation. Do you guys know what this can be? Is this the differential? I need some help. I have 600 miles left on my warranty before it's 36k mi. Thanks guys.

Sounds exactly like a sound my S2000 made. Turned out to be a bad wheel bearing. The best way to tell is to loosen the spindle nuts and wiggle the wheel. If there's any movement, replace the bearing.

I notice my car makes these noises when I have rock(s) in my tires. Yours must be clicking extremely fast if it clicks a few times before one full rotation.

Goodluck and let us know how things go
